Proper way to violently handle a bully.

I won't run into the weeds too far with the details (sorry if I did).

Both of my children have been harassed and bullied by the same child in their school. He's the son of two lawyers that work 80-100 hours a week and don't spend a lot of time parenting, and when they do, they're raising an assassin of a child.

I'll be teaching my son how to handle this situation with violence, as the school does absolutely nothing to the culprit. For instance, he, for no reason, punched another child last year, a kid who is never in trouble. The child cried after being hit, complained to the teacher, etc. Additionally, other children witnessed it happen. He literally got no punishment. The school administrator said, "it's a he said she said situation." When the injured child's parents inquired about this.

The bully happens to be a lot smaller than my son, so I think it would be a quick fight. He cries a lot on the sports team when he's disciplined for acting up, which happens often.

With that said, what are the do's and don'ts? I figure swing for the head/face and strike 3-5 times. If the bully does not further engage, walk away from the scene. If the bully continues to engage, continue to fight. While this bully is probably living in a bad home, it does not give him the right to make my children suffer, in the way they have on and off over the past few years. This bully is so awful, I would comfortably wager that 4-7 parents of the boys in my child's class would literally thank the parents of whichever child beats up this bully and puts a stop to this nonsense. Honestly, the bully is really this rotten.

My son has never gotten in a fight or been violent, and we will discuss the merits of this situation and how it is never ok to start a fight. We'll also discuss not fighting a stranger unless it's an emergency. This bully we can underwrite pretty easily, and I'd give my son great odds.

So, what in bounds and out of bounds. I honestly would celebrate a suspension if the school suspended my son. They are such cowards in dealing with bullying to the point that they do next to nothing.

And yes, we have tried multiple times to address this with the parents. They put on a front when in public, to act like they sort of care, but it seems like when everyone is out of sight, they pat their child on the back.

Welcome to the American education system at it's finest. Oh, and this is a private school too.

Thank you for all of your wisdom and insights.
